Opened in 1868 by the South Yorkshire Railway on what became the line from Sheffield Victoria to Doncaster, this station closed in 1966. View north towards Rotherham Road and Doncaster. The main building was in the right foreground. A new Rotherham Central was opened in 1987 which can be seen in the distance. The railway line was electrified for tram-train some 9 years after this image was taken.
